I loved OBSESSION. loved. If you haven’t seen it, you should.
BUT - I’ve seen this cycle so many times and in 18 months, we will have 3 horror movies every weekend and none of them will perform to their potential.
The right comp is ANYONE BUT YOU. A romcom? Yes.
The most powerful hit generating formula in the movie business is a good to great high concept film in a genre that has been underserved for a while.
Let’s not all pile on the horror bandwagon.
Let’s make an awesome R rated comedy.
Let’s make a sexy erotic thriller.
Let’s make a great emotional true story.
Let’s make a great love story!
There are audiences out there hungry for their type of movie.
Let’s feed them.
(Also - please see MOTOR CITY July 24 in a theater near you. And please enjoy KPOPS on Netflix!!!)
Been reporting on casting news for nearly 20 years and it’s my firm belief that MOST of the time. the right actor winds up with the role. This is a good example.
One Claude Max subscriber generated $5,600 in API costs on a $100/month plan. A 56x subsidy ratio.
Anthropic is now moving Enterprise to usage-based pricing, The Information reports. The flat-rate era for AI is ending.
In China, the same collision is playing out at a fraction of the price:https://t.co/APNawmeZBW
I was really bummed not to be invited to this. Seemed like a great event. Don’t forget your studio execs! Reward them for fighting for your films! Make them feel included.
Recently get thiiiiiiissss close to a gig you really wanted? I remember when we were casting 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU. Came down to Heath and two other unknown guys. I felt so terrible for the other 2. They were so good and now wouldn’t get this big break. The other two? Ashton Kutcher and Josh Hartnett. Just goes to show you. If you come up as the second choice, it’s a great sign. Your opportunity is just around the corner.
